Tuesday Tidbits...

Looks like we're already preparing for next month's "April Showers"...
So, you might want to adjust both your wardrobe and driving appropriately.
(told you not to wash the car...lol)
Mother Nature has it all covered, doesn't she?
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us (what else?) RAIN...followed by more rain this afternoon and a bit more rain later tonight. Skies will be cloudy as all get out, and temps will be rising to around 57 degrees. There will be breezy conditions to add to all this "fun".

I would say it's best to go get that morning cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa, as we see what else has been going on...
*** First out of the rain barrel is our "What the hell happens today, Bob?" feature:
MARCH 27 -
---It's National American Diabetes Association Alert Day

(nice of them to tell us about AMERICAN diabetes - beats the EUROPEAN kind, I suppose)
---It's National Education and Sharing Day

(always good to share education...IF the kids pay attention)
---It's National Joe Day

(I'll bet Norma's brother is loving this one)
---It's National Spanish Paella Day

(in Spain, it's not AS good as we make it here)
*** Next up, and since it IS Tuesday, let's look at all the FWPD calls that we never head about, because the media was focusing on Stormy Daniels and her tale...

*** Next, here's one reason not to get a tattoo:
http://wane.com/2018/03/26/cocaine-boats-found-at-unlicensed-fort-wayne-tattoo-shop/
Now, is this guy creepy-looking or what?
He's got those "dead in the soul" eyes, if you ask me.
This guy has the look of one of those mass-shooters.
And he ran an UNLICENSED tattoo parlor. Doesn't anyone downtown CHECK this kind of stuff out?
Police found "cocaine boats"...I'll stick to shrimp boats (with fries and slaw).
Funny, I always thought you had to BE licensed to even open the doors to places like these, not to mention the health risks involved.
Lock this drug-dealing jerk up and keep him there.
*** Next, a Fort Wayne man (child) gets busted for a DETROIT murder. here's the lowdown:
http://www.wpta21.com/story/37809067/fort-wayne-man-picked-up-on-detroit-murder-warrant
What's the matter? Not enough black for you to kill in Fort Wayne? You have to travel to Detroit to get your kicks?
((Richard Gaines III was arrested Thursday in Fort Wayne. The arrest comes after a Michigan court issued a recommendation for a warrant.))
Guess the Detroit police seem to KNOW where such people tend to run to...makes sense, given the "nature of the beasts" as it were.
Well, with the possibility of high-speed rail looming, it could make a getaway much easier and faster.
*** Next up, the oldest gun maker in America falls on hard time. Here's the story:
http://www.wpta21.com/story/37806674/frontier-gun-maker-remington-seeks-bankruptcy-protection

Yes, Remington firearms has filed for Chapter 11 (bankruptcy).
Ever since Sandy Hook, the gun maker has been taking it on the chin (and in the wallet).
This is what happens when leftist loons are allowed to sue gun makers for a crime that was perpetrated by a PERSON (who happened to use a gun).

The 1911 model by Remington

And this is the kind of BS that gets traction in this country these days, rather than the TRUTH.
That's pretty damn sad.
*** Next  time to leave the sad and visit the cute with our "Kitten Corner"...

I think the kids were anticipating the rain we have today, an were behaving themselves very well. Gallifrey does continue to be a bit "manic" at mealtime, while Violet just sits there patiently and waits for me to have her sit up for her food. She never utters a single meow, while he can't shut up...lol.
Late in the evening, it's time to curl up in a chair (usually mine) and get comfy one with the other.
*** Next up, let's go visit with "Midnight and Company"...

Please don't tell me it's gonna rain...

The furry twosome were close by once again, and I tried to tell them both it would be quite rainy today.
Here's hoping they both take advantage of the shelters and stay dry.

Just catchin' some rays while I can.

Usually neither of them gets soaked, so they  manage to keep themselves out of the foul weather.
You can't help but want the best for the two of them.
*** Last back to the rain-soaked streets...people really need to start looking for the truth.

I know I'm really becoming annoyed with folks "settling" for whatever some media source tosses at them, and embracing it as some sort of "gospel". With the technology at our disposal that makes seeking the truth to any story or issue, you;d think it would be SO easy.
Sadly, it's looking like the opposite may be true.
Thankfully, there are those of us who refuse to just swallow whatever media pablum is trying to be shoved  down our throats on a daily basis, and instead, take the time (and effort) to "look behind the curtain" and find out what's really going on.
This generation that has taken to protesting gun control worries me, because they have become the lemmings they should be avoiding in life. No critical thinking, no individual thought processes...just follow in lock-step to what "sounds good", rather than what iis right.
What they don't realize is that while jumping off a cliff is easy...it's that sudden STOP at the bottom that's the real bugger.

Be well, make a difference to someone, and...
Stay SAFE out there, America.
